Meaningful Connection: A Workshop

Meaningful Connection: this workshop practices the skills of creating a meaningful connection with anyone quickly, useful in networking, leading teams, running meetings, one-on-one leadership, negotiation, and more. It’s based on a simple script that removes the challenges of figuring out what to say and allows participants to practice advanced communication techniques, feel and see their effects, and build experience. Participants experience both sides of the interaction.
